Heffs

Prerequisites: Reading Four-Handed Siteswaps & Beginner four-handed siteswaps | Next: Add doubles, zaps, or trelfs, or introduce takeouts.

Why not (78627). Why not is probably the first pattern with heffs for most jugglers. It is a widely know 6-club pattern, with lots of videos and good video tutorials. Many jugglers fudge the timing with a fast zip (like Jim's patterns) and juggle it synchronously. The most common and easiest to learn start is to have juggler B start with two clubs and react to the first pass with heff-zip-pass-self-pass.

There is also a 5-club version (78622) and the similar pattern not why (72867).

French three-count (786). A very common 7-club pattern and a great foundation for many harder siteswaps.

Funky bookends (77786). Another common, well known pattern.

5-count popcorn with heffs (78686). While the original popcorn patterns arguably have trelfs in them, this is a common easier version.

Notice that french three count (786), 5-count popcorn (78686), and 7-count popcorn (7868686) all follow a common idea.

Vitoria (7778686). Essentially a combination of funky bookends and popcorn, named after the city Vitoria-Gasteiz where EJC was held in 2009.

Other similar patterns to try. 72867 (not why), 72786 (maybe), 8677777 (Mojito), 7868686 (7-count popcorn), 7888882 (7-count popcorn variation).
